Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Robusto cigar review

12/18/2023

 

 Good strong flavors at first.  Somewhat strong.


Has a slightly chocolate and slightly sweet taste with a little woodsy aftertaste.


Pretty strong flavor at first. Now has mellowed at the half way point. Like a Maduro now with smooth deep dark flavors.  Pretty good and really smooth. 



The burn is not the greatest but haven't had to touch it up.  Lots of smooth cool smoke and it's a medium profile .


Lots of dried fruit flavors.  Like a tangy sweetness.  Goes great with my Belgium beer. 


Picking up strength.  It's definitely a complex well developed smoke made to deliver many flavors.  I'd say it's not too strong for me, but it's definitely medium to full now. Not overpowering,just good smooth smoking throughout.

I think it's even smoother now than before.  Lots of spicy cedar now on top of the chocolate and dried fruit.  Full flavor now and damn good.  


Worth buying? For what I paid? Hell yeah.  


Not a full flavored Friday night smoke, but a damn good Monday night smoke.

Gurkha Castle Hall Nicaraguan Reserva Especial Toro cigar review  5/27/2023 I got these cheap.    But they've been aging for at least 6 months in my humidor.    Never been a fan of Gurkha, but I am very open minding and will smoke every cigar I have.  Starts off medium with spice, cedar, and earth.    Yep, just like most Nicaraguan smokes.    Not too bad.   Most Gurkhas taste alright the first third and turn to really terrible, but, like I said, I will honestly review any cigar.    If this one stays consistent then it is a decent smoke.   I taste a slight caramel taste, but it is burning kind of hot.    It is really windy tonight.    60 degrees out.    Windy and cool enough to start a small fire.    What's does have to do with how this is smoking? Nothing.    It is burning hot and a little harsh, but maybe it will mellow out. Half way through and it is mostly...

Oliva Serie V Diadema cigar review   12/17/2022 I've had this one sitting in my humidor for over a year just waiting for me to smoke it.    This one is 7 inches long and has a beautiful Habana sun grown wrapper.    The cigar smells great.    I got this one from a sampler, which I have 2 of, so I can try it again.    It seems the Diadema has a 7 inch and a 6 inch.    This is the larger one.  I guess I should mention it is cold here in Georgia tonight. About 34 now.    I chopped a bunch of wood this afternoon just to make sure my fire was super hot.    No wind though, so won't be that bad.   I like a figuardo as it is easy to light.    Right away I'm enjoying some caramel and woodsy flavors.    As my jaw chatters and my arms shake.    Damn it's cold.    Thank God for my torch to get the fire roaring.  With the torch, only need 5 minutes and I'm feeling som...

Here you will find honest reviews about the cigars that I bought myself and smoked myself.  I like to enjoy a fine cigar 3 to 4 times a week, late at night, sipping on some fine bourbon or tequila.  I've been smoking cigars for over 20 years and I try to be unbiased and honest in my reviews.  You can't trust most of the reviews on the internet or posted on most retailer's websites.  I don't really care if some guy tastes every flavor of the dessert buffet on some crappy cigar.  I want to know if it was an enjoyable cigar that satisfied you and you want to smoke another one.  That's what I try to give you.   <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9914815924126887"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
